Histoires et avenirs de l'éducation
ISBN : 9782080415349
Que serait devenue l'humanité sans tous ceux qui, depuis des milliers d'années, ont accumulé, protégé et partagé des connaissances ? Que serions-nous si la Bible, les oeuvres de Platon et d'Aristote, les mathématiques d'Al Jibra, la poésie de Villon, la musique de Mozart, avaient disparu ? Qu'en sera-t-il à l'avenir ? Depuis l'Antiquité jusqu'à aujourd'hui, de la Mésopotamie à la Chine, de Jérusalem à Venise, de Paris à Londres, de New York à Shanghai, les façons de transmettre les savoirs ont joué un rôle déterminant dans l'évolution des cultures, des rapports de pouvoir, des idéologies et des religions ; les puissants cherchant le plus souvent à priver les peuples, et d'abord les filles, des savoirs menaçant leurs privilèges. Aujourd'hui, la situation s'aggrave : très peu de personnes ont réellement accès à une formation de qualité. Demain, si on n'y prend garde, l'humanité sombrera dans une nouvelle barbarie faite d'ignorance et de technologies mal maîtrisées. Pourtant, nous avons les moyens de former tous les humains et de mettre l'éducation au service d'un monde bienveillant en harmonie avec la nature. Plus qu'une histoire mondiale de l'éducation et de son avenir, ce livre propose des choix radicaux pour lutter contre la barbarie, des choix sans lesquels l'humanité ne pourra survivre.

La Confession d'un enfant du siècle
ISBN : 9782070364763
Alors ces hommes de l'Empire, qui avaient tant couru et tant égorgé... se regardèrent dans les fontaines de leurs prairies natales, et ils s'y virent si vieux, si mutilés, qu'ils se souvinrent de leurs fils, afin qu'on leur fermât les yeux. Ils demandèrent où ils étaient ; les enfants sortirent des collèges, et ne voyant plus ni sabres, ni cuirasses, ni fantassins, ni cavaliers, ils demandèrent à leur tour où étaient leurs pères. Mais on leur répondit que la guerre était finie, que César était mort, et que les portraits de Wellington et de Blücher étaient suspendus dans les antichambres des consulats et des ambassades, avec ces deux mots au bas : Salvatoribus mundi. Alors s'assit sur un monde en ruines une jeunesse soucieuse. " Un génie tout en âme, le plus puissamment humain et le plus puissamment moderne, le plus nous tous enfin, qui ait jamais existé " (Jules Barbey d'Aurevilly)
Notre humanité - D'Aristote aux neurosciences
ISBN : 9782818506950
A l'origine des grandes révolutions scientifiques, il y a toujours une idée philosophique de l'homme. L' "animal rationnel" de l'Antiquité est lié à la naissance des sciences naturelles. A l'âge classique, la métaphysique cartésienne est indissociable de la physique mathématique. Au siècle passé, les sciences humaines prenaient pour objet le "sujet assujetti" du structuralisme. Enfin, le vivant défini par ses "capacités cognitives" marque la victoire actuelle des neurosciences. Chaque définition de l'homme charrie son lot de croyances morales et d'idéologies politiques. Au fondement de l'esclavage ou du patriarcat, derrière le châtiment promis aux homosexuels ou à la condamnation de l'homophobie, à la racine des droits humains ou de l'antispécisme, il y a forcément une conception de l'être humain. Aujourd'hui, on fait de l'homme un "vivant comme les autres" . L' "animal rationnel" n'a pas dit son dernier mot. Pas plus que l'humanisme, que l'on croit dépassé. Professeur émérite au département de philosophie de l'Ecole normale supérieure, Francis Wolff est notamment l'auteur dans la collection "Pluriel" de Penser avec les Anciens (2016), Pourquoi la musique ? (2019), Dire le monde (2020) et Plaidoyer pour l'universel (2021).
